We’re only getting around to writing about it now because of the other reviews and articles that we’ve been posting about the last few week.
But now it’s time to celebrate!
Hitting 1 million total video views is an amazing accomplishment that we’re super excited about. And of course it’s not stopping now. Since the day we hit the mark we’ve had another 30,000 views.
As of this writing, our total views are at 1,034,452!

Last week we received the annual Holiday Gift Guide mailer from a great board game store in our area – Game Night Games.
I always love seeing what they include in their mailer and this year they included a number of Top 5 Games lists. So I thought it would be great to share their recommendations.
Why? Because this is their “day job”.
They’re dealing with customers every day, all day and they know what people are most interested in buying and playing. So it’s always a fun activity to see what they list.

But rather than just take our word for it, this year we thought it would be a great idea to list out the games that have won Game Of The Year!
There are a few sources we could point to for Game of the Year. We often share the Game of the Year as voted on by game reviewers around the world through The Dice Tower Awards.
But there’s also another reliable source for Game of the Year each year and that’s the Spiel des Jahres.

The Chicago Toy and Game Fair (ChiTAG) is going on next week at Navy Pier in Chicago!
(Chicago Toy and Game week is Nov 20 – 23)
Oh, how I wish I could be there.
Unfortunately, once again, I’m going to miss it.
Because my business trip to Chicago is this week instead of next week. Major bummer.
But that won’t stop me from writing about it.

There are a zillion digital games available to give us a break from time to time. The big caution is that we don’t let the ease and availability of so many fun diversions take us away from what truly matters – human relationships.
Don’t let all your time be sucked up in single-player digital games.
Share the enjoyment and play the games with others!
Here are 6 ‘new-to-us’ digital board game implementations we’ve recently played that are fun to play with others.

I’ve been excited to write about the digital board game implementation of BattleLore for a couple months now.
Why?
Because I’ve been lucky enough to be a playtester for the game as it’s been in development!
And it’s fantastic!
It’s also super close to being available for iOS, Android, and PC.
Knowing that a build has been submitted to the iOS app store means it’s very close.
We’re so excited today that we can’t help but share our happy family news…
Our oldest son Trevor has been called to serve a church mission in WHEREVER!
This year we’ve written a couple times about the changing family dynamics as kids start to leave home. It’s a new and exciting time in our family.
The first to leave is always a new experience. Even though Trevor left for a semester at college recently, we’ve been able to see him often for family activities or college football game days. But leaving on a 2 year mission is a different story altogether.

“We are looking for fun, quick games to play as part of family home evening. Like everyone, we have a lot of commitments so sometimes we don’t start until late. But I would like to end it with a fun game. Our children are 2 boys, 12 and 15, and a 14 year old girl. What is your favorite, QUICK (15-20 min or less), board or card game?”
While responding to her request, I realized it would make a great list for readers worldwide.
There are many great card games and board games that are well suited for 4 players.
But what about 5 players?
